I'm stuffed if I can see how the cold start will have ruined his engine. the traditional reason for warming an engine prior to flight is so that the exhaust muffle is hot enough to deliver carby heat if needed on climb out. That's pretty funny. A preheat has so little affect on the temperature of the exhaust muff that it isn't even a consideration. Within 10 seconds of engine start, the heat of the exhaust pipe will be at roughly the same value whether the engine was started at 20 degrees F or 80 degrees F. Matt |
